This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The Achterhoek Convention Bureau operates as an important entity within the hospitality and real estate sectors, focusing on connecting businesses with meeting and event venues in the Achterhoek region. Its business model revolves around service facilitation and venue promotion, targeting corporate clients and event organizers. The platform leverages partnerships with numerous local venues, enhancing its market position as a regional leader. Revenue streams likely include venue promotion and possibly referral fees. The company is relatively new, founded in 2022, and maintains a consistent brand presence with professional content and active social media engagement. Growth indicators include frequent updates and a broad portfolio of partner venues. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving hotels, conference centers, and outdoor event locations. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding digital marketing and enhancing user engagement to capture a larger share of the regional event planning market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and multiple security headers implemented. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 and cookie consent mechanisms demonstrates attention to user privacy and bot mitigation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact user trust in security matters. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for mature security operations. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security communication and formalized incident response procedures to improve readiness and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using popular and well-supported libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and various carousel and gallery plugins. It integrates Google Fonts and Google Analytics for performance and user insights. The presence of Google reCAPTCHA v3 enhances security against automated abuse. Hosting is provided by team.blue nl B.V., a reputable registrar and hosting provider, with DNSSEC enabled for domain security. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics scripts improving load times. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile optimized and uses cookie consent scripts to comply with privacy regulations. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack further and improve accessibility compliance.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
